This is a FABULOUS book. I absolutely love it. The only thing that I might change about the book is to have a little more romantic action between Jonah and Emma. A part of me wasn't very satisfied with that. But other than that this book is amazing and I could read it over and over and not get bored.

I really did not like this one. It was choppy and for all the pages it had, I felt as though very little actually happened. This feels like it was an idea for another story, but was hastily edited and published to fulfill that book deal Chima got for the additional two Heir books. As much as I wasn't a huge fan of how The Dragon Heir ended, I think it should have remained a trilogy and this be whatever else it was supposed to be before it all got changed to the The Heir Chronicles. Props to her for getting that bag, though.

3.5 stars! This whole series is just okay to me. Not bad, not great either. Maybe if I read them a few years ago when I wasn’t as well versed in ya/urban fantasy I might’ve enjoyed them more. Also this one has a new plot line from the original trilogy that I do enjoy. Overall there’s moments I really like about these books that keep me reading the series but they just don’t really ever get there for me

I may be biased: I have always enjoyed Cinda Williams Chima's books. This is no exception. Looking forward to the finale of the Heir Chronicles this October!

Maybe wait to read it till the next one comes out. It kind of ends with a cliffhanger. It was interesting though. I liked it, but that could have been just because I love the author. I'm not sure what's going on politically or rather how they are going to get through all the issues (if they even can). This book was a little tragic. Not the overarching plot, but the characters themselves had a tragic background. I still love the first three, but I'm going to think of this as a sort of companion series rather than a continuation of original story. The old characters do make appearances but do not have major roles (maybe that will change with the next books?). I enjoyed reading it and it was hard to put down, but I feel like it was just getting started when it ended, like things were finally moving forward in a way that affects the plot. This book just felt like an introduction of characters. Dot get me wrong though, I'm already attached to Emma and Jonah as well as Kenzie and Natalie, just wishing there was more.

Whew. A lot to say about this book…it took me a while to finish. I’m stubborn and felt I needed to and just don’t care for Jonah and Emma

I've really loved Chima's other books, but this one was frustratingly bland. There was really very little happening in the 500 pages besides brooding teenage romance and tiny little dramas that were easily forgotten. There were some neat subplots that unfortunately got left behind and apparently will be the entire focus of the next book. I'll continue reading her books because I love Jack and Ellen and Seph, but Jonah and Emma have not won my heart.

I enjoyed this book, however it was not my favorite by her.
